The Equitable Life Assurance Society.
All persons seeking assurance will do well
to send for the latest pamphlets Of the EQuit-
able Life Assurance Society, 10 Broadway,
New York. No other company is able to
give the security and benefits furnished by
this society.
/. It Is the strongest company: holding q
larger cash surplus than any other assur
ance organization in the world Surplus, 4
per cent basis, sixteen and a-half millions1
2 It is the largest company: having the
greatest volume Of outstanding assurance.
-Four hundred and thirty millions
g. 1t is the most popular company: having
for years transacted the largest annual busi-
ness.
Gin 1885, one hundred and eleven millions
l. 1t issues the safest policy: which be-
comes absolutely incontestable and cannot
then, like the policies Of many companies, be
contested, or compromised for part Of its
face value.
S. 1t Il Of all companies the most prompt.
As soon as policy becomes incontestable it
is payable. not after the usual delay of sixty
days, but imme diately upon the receipt OF
proof of death or the death claims paid
by the society in 1886, more than onehalf of
the total amount was settled on the very day
proc were received; and tbs balance, with
the exception Of q few scattering cases, with
in the first sixty days.
Such q record Is unparalleled
6 1t ia the most progressive company:
having been the pioneer in all the reforms
which have made American life assurance
famous throughout the world.
z. II Is the most liberal company: issuing a
policy which combines more guarantees and
advantages than any other company can Of
fer under q single contract Of assurance.
8 Ii is the most remunerative company:
having not only accumulated . larger sur
plus for the future benefit Of policy holders,
but having devised she Toutine method of
ASSURANCE, under which larger profits have
been paid TO policy holders than under any
form Of assurance ever introduced
.. 1t is most worthy Of being called . mu-
tual company: for, not only do all profits be
long 70 policy holders, but no other a-<ur-
| ance company has ever BEEN conducted in
the same sense and to the same degree In the
interest Of policy holders. From the begin
ming its managers have sought 90 adapt its
policies and methods TO the needs and prefer
ences OF Its members.

WHO WROTE sHAKESPEARE7
How the Element of .sDoubt' Leads
to Grand Achievements.

The world is agltated again over
the question of who was the author
OF ehakespeare's plays.
The world is full OF doubling Thorn
asses.
The man who has been successful
in exciting the present momentary in
terest in the subject is like mos. sue
cessful agitatcrs, an Irishman. He
claims to have discovered a cipher
running through the Shakespearian
plays which proves them to have been
written by Lord Bacon. 1t is also
claimed that there is a cipher in the
epitaph on the mossgrown tombstone
which, properly interpreted, leads to
the same conclusion.
This age shows a decided inclin-
alton to pry into mysteries.
1t can make no difference to Shake
speare now whether the world be-
lieves he wrote the plays that bear
his name or not
The plays are immortal.
Ignatius Donnelly cannot rob US of
these grand works, even though he
should succeed in rObbing Shakes
peare of his glory.
Were it not for doubling Thomases
many of mans great accomplish
ments would never have been brought
to successful issue.
Men have been stricken down with
out warning. Doubt put in motion
the investigation which ascertained
the cause. After the discovery of the
cause, the world was ignorant of any
remedy with which to stay the ter
rible slaughter of humanity and med
ical science said it was impossib BILE.
Doubt led the way to the light, and
Warmers safe cure solved the seem
ingly unsolvable problem. Its friends
tell US with conclusive proof that the
unsupported kidney disease befouls
the blood and causes most of our
diseases!
For years the heart was looked up
on as the most important organ in
the body but doubt led to further in
quiry, which developed the fact that
the kidneys are the real blood puri-
fers of the system and these organs
now attract the first attention of the
careful practitioner. 1t is now a re-
cognized fact that if they are put in a
healthy state by the use of that re-
medy possessing such wonderful cur
alive and cleansing powers most OF
the prevailing diseases of the system
will be easily overcome, since theiI
cause will be removed.
How unimportant, in comparison
with such problems, is the present
discussion as to the authorship of
Shakespeare

The bridge overNapa creek, near
Suscol, erected by the Santa Rosa
and Benicia Road, crosses the creek,
which is narrow, in q diagonal
direction instead OF ar right angles,
and consequently, it is claimed,
that steamers and sailing vessels
find it difficult to pass through the
draw.
AS a result of the investiga-
tons by agents of Oregon swamp
land titles 100000 acres, at a
rough estimate, will be lost to the
State, but the titles to the land will
be established and the disputes
which have arisen over swamp.
land matters since 1860 will be
largely settled. Over half of the
land examined was found to be not
swamp.
Claus Spreckels will locate a

The foundation will be concrete,
the walls brick and the roof of cor
rugated iron. The site is near the

twenty-six acres of land.

Anti.Chinese Truckee.

The celebration of the first ami
versary of the exodus of the Chinese
from Truckee was recently cele-
brated with great eclat. The ex-
pertinent of expelling the Chinese
from that place and filling the va
cancies with white labor has been a
success, and the city has grown
prosperous under the change. The
success of the movement is due to
the fact that the anti-Chinese peo-
pie permitted no ofice-seeking poll
tician to use the movement to ad-
vance personal ends.

The Overland For December

The Overland For December i.
The Overland Monthly for De-
cember is evidently holiday num-
Der, though no story or article deals
directly with the holiday season.
This appearance is given to It by
the illustrations. The delightful
bits of river scenery surpass the
views of the Santa Clara Valley
that made the June Overland a
marked number. This time it is
Shasta County and upper Sacrament
to River that have been presented,
and the work is done in that con-
scientious and artistic style, both
in the selection and execution of
the pictures and in the descriptive
article by Ninetta Eames, that al
ways distinguishes the Overland's
work in illustrating the various Sec
tons of the State. The value of
such articles cannot be over-esti
mated.
The Overland finishes the first
five years of it's second series and
the twenty-first since its beginning
in 1868 with the possession and
promise of a growth as sturdy and
surprising as that of the great coun-
try that it represents.
